He Makes it Back to the Common Room

Harry, unaccustomed to the weight on his chest, stumbled slightly as his center of gravity was different.

Looking around he discovered he was in the point of the school furthest away from Gryffindor house. Use to sneaking around after curfew, Harry slowly made his way.

Dodging several teachers along the way, he made it all the way to Gryffindor. Before he spoke the password which would allow him access, he paused. Was the choker going to hide the clothes he was wearing once he took them off?

Deciding to get back before anyone noticed, he whispered the password, "Panthera leo europaea."

When the door quietly swung open at the Latin name of the European Lion, Harry breathed a sigh of relief.

He was slowly making his way towards the stairs to the Gryffindor male stairs before he heard the door to the common room open behind him.

Hiding behind a couch in the shadow, he waited to see who was coming in.

Fortunately or unfortunately for him, it was just Katie and Hermione. Standing up from behind the couch, he looked at them awkwardly and still.

Thankfully it was Hermione who broke the silence, "Uh, I, uh, just wanted, I wanted to apologize for the things I said, um, earlier, I wasn't, ehm, really thinking strait, and uhm, I'm sorry for taking my anger at the situation out on you Harry."

To the side of Hermione, Harry could see Katie gearing up to give a similar apology, but he just raised his hand stop her. When she didn't continue, he used to hands to massage his face, still upset but not truly angry anymore.

After all, Harry long ago learned that being angry didn't befit you if weren't in power. Releasing his breath, he moved his hands and looked at the girls.

"Alright, well I'm still bloody upset, but sitting around and being pissed won't help any, and I still need to deal with this," he waved his hand at his own body. Then he recognized that he had a very feminine voice.

Katie spoke up, "Um, sorry Harry, but what part do you mean? I don't really know how to, um, fix you being a girl."

Grunting, which sounded weird coming from a girl's body, "I need more clothes, none of my old clothes with fit my new, ehm, body," he finished unpleasantly.

Raising her hand like they were in class, Hermione pointed out, "I can um, led you some clothes to sleep in, but your best bet is to just wear the, uh, uniform you acquired and worry about more clothes after classes?," she added tentatively.

Sighing heavily, something Harry noticed he was doing a lot more recently, he thanked her, "Yeah, sleeping clothes would be great Hermione, I can deal with the other issue after classes."

——————-

It was two weeks later, Hermione having brought Harry the first night to the Room of Requirement to use the cabinet for more close for Harry, that something happened.

Hermione had let her guard down when Malfoy made no other move, so when she woke up in the morning and noticed there was a note on her chest she picked it up to look at before she could think about it. Reading the note, Hermione was compelled to follow through with its orders.
